"Mike could walk into a room and within seconds, light up the dullest party and it would still be lit long after he was gone."
Lee Jones Prem, friend, former Midwestern Hayride vocalist

"Mike had an excellent rapport with the television and radio staffs. He was able to (as they say) get King Kwik 'a lot of bang for our bucks,' … King Kwik couldn’t have asked for a better person than Mike Tangi to help grow their business with advertising"
Richard Kunkel, friend, former King Kwik marketing director

"Mike would do whatever for you in a pinch...There was only one Mike in the universe, and he left a little bit of himself in all of us."
John Otting, friend, radio station owner/broadcaster

“I got the chance to work once or twice with Al (Uncle Al) Lewis. Al reminded me so much of Mike it was uncanny. I suppose when two people work together for as long as they had, there was bound to be some personality melding.”
Jay Petach, sound engineer/partner, Sound Images

“Mike was fun to be around, and you were always guaranteed to have a good time. There aren’t many people you can say that about.”
Len Goorian, friend and retired Cincinnati TV excutive producer

"The idea behind the Kwik Brothers, Mike feels, 'is to entertain. Everybody's trying to treat the TV viewer as a jerk. But if you can entertain people and make them happy, you can make them aware of a product in a happy way.'"
